Abstract (en)
Binoculars made up of two cast aluminium bodies, equipped with respective sets of lenses, among which may be emphasized 21- millimetre objectives (5L), which allow an embodiment of small size and an optimalization of the unit's weight and size. Both bodies are connected to an axis joint for adjusting the distance between the user's eyes. A wheel in the axis joint allows accurate focusing. In one of the blocks, preferably the right-hand one, there is a lever for adjusting the zoom according to a range of pre-set magnifications. Each eyepiece is enclosed in a rubber protector that also improves tactile sensation and manageability. By turning an eyepiece, specifically the right-hand one, the dioptric scale may be adjusted. <IMAGE>
